China bans Olympic athletes from bringing a Bible

yeah, i wondered when someone was going to point that out

 

Half of it does.

 

There are about eight bajillion reasons not to hold the games in China.
There are about six bajillion reasons not to hold the Olympic Games ever again anywhere.

 

What I am wondering more than this is whether the toilet situation has been rectified in Beijing for the Olympic Games....

Anyone know if problem solved?

 

As if FB doesn't start six threads a day along those lines?

 

Point out one.

 

Other than the caricatures pumped out by NFL Films, I can't think of a bigger shopworn sports cliche than the Olympic Games.

 

The Masters.

And this coming from a golf fan.

 

Actually, I was thinking more along these lines:

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

 

You all are missing the big picture. Why are cups also banned? That's not only un-American, it's gotta be un-Chinesian!

 

FB, you're right about the eight bajillion reasons not the hold the games in China. No matter how any of us feel about various religions I have a difficult time reconciling how the US can take part in an Olympics held by a nation with a bajillion human rights violations.

 

OK, Red Smith.
Thanks for stopping by.
It's a freaking track meet.
